Hi Serdar, Joep, Thanks for advices, though 99USD or the like for a soldering iron looks expensive... Does it really worth it ? Vasile's suggestion is something closed to 20$, variable temp though no digital thermostat. I've also been suggested this one: http://www.selectronic.fr/article.asp?article_ref_entier=10.1806-9999#, cheap too.
What can make such differences in prices ?
